Block and Göttsche have defined a q-number refinement of counts of tropical curves in $$\mathbb {R}^2$$R2. Under the change of variables $$q=e^{iu}$$q=eiu, we show that the result is a generating series of higher genus log Gromov–Witten invariants with insertion of a lambda class. This gives a geometric interpretation of the Block-Göttsche invariants and makes their deformation invariance manifest.
